Abstract
A semiconductor memory apparatus according to the present invention includes: two bank areas each having one-port memories capable of performing writing and reading only with separate timings; a writing control circuit for writing data into said one-port memories in one bank area of the two bank areas; and a reading control circuit for reading data from said one-port memories of the other bank area and zero-clearing memory areas from which data has been read while the writing control circuit is writing data into the one bank area.
Claims9
A semiconductor memory apparatus comprising:
- two bank areas having one-port memories capable of performing writing and reading only with separate timings and capable of selecting one of an upper side bit string and a lower side bit string of a data bus by the logic of writing control signals and writing data;
- a writing control circuit configured to write data into said one-port memories in one bank area of said two bank areas;
- and
- a reading control circuit configured to read data from said one-port memories in the other bank area and zero-clearing memory areas from which data has been read while said writing control circuit is writing data.
